Wuthering Waves 3.6 New Characters
Qingxiao (5★)
Qingxiao is an Aero Sword Main DPS who specializes in Tune Strain and stacking Mindlock for massive personal damage amplification. Her gameplay revolves around alternating Sheathed Stance and Drawn Stance Basic Attacks to build Qin Heart and Sword Cadence, which unlock Heavy Attack - Stringblade and her Ephemeral Transcendence state.
Her core mechanic, Mindlock, stacks up to 15 times whenever teammates inflict Tune Strain - Interfered, amplifying the DMG her key skills deal to that target. Her Inherent Skills Sea of Thought, World of Dust and To Know, To Banish convert defeated Mindlock targets and landed Tune Breaks into even more stacks, making her damage scale hard the more Tune Strain support she gets.
Her Resonance Liberation Billows Beneath Heaven deals a massive Aero DMG nuke and grants Heaven's Clarity, setting up a 100% DMG boost on her next Heavy Attack. Her Outro Lingering Song also hits hard on its own, dealing Aero DMG equal to 800% of her ATK.
Jingran (5★)
Jingran is a Fusion Broadblade Main DPS whose kit scales off Max HP rather than ATK, converting Shields into massive personal damage buffs. His gameplay revolves around alternating Yin Vessel and Yang Font states, each unlocking a separate Basic Attack chain, Drink Soul and Devil's Bane, that build Qi toward his Heavy Attacks.
His core mechanic centers on Shield conversion. His Inherent Skill Hark the Dust grants him a recurring self-Shield scaling off Max HP, while Trace the Vestige builds Ghost Shroud stacks whenever any teammate gains a Shield, feeding into buffs tied to his Fixation state. His passives Nether to Light and Yang Changes, Yin Unites further convert his Max HP into bonus Healing and ATK, making him one of the few Main DPS Resonators who scales primarily off HP.
His Resonance Liberation Burial of Thousand Souls deals a massive Fusion Heavy Attack, drops his HP to 50% if above that threshold, and grants Wayfarer's Mark stacks that fuel his Heavy Attack - Soul Raid and Stardome Meander nukes. At 300 Qi, either Heavy Attack can be unleashed for a huge burst of Fusion DMG, switching his stance on cast and keeping his Yin-Yang cycle going.
